Foran Realty Co., Inc. has earned Accredited Member status from the National Home Watch Association for the fourth year. The NHWA was formed in 2009 in order to establish and maintain the highest industry standards for Home Watch and absentee homeowner services throughout the United States and Canada (www.nationalhomewatchassociation.org). Home Watch is a service that “keeps an eye on things” at your vacation or primary home while you are not in residence.
President and Founder Patrick J. Foran is a Worcester native who grew up in Dennis. He currently lives with his wife and their children in Cummaquid. Patrick followed in the family tradition and attended Assumption College. He has a B.A. in Politics. Patrick is also a Licensed Real Estate Broker and Licensed Insurance Broker.
Having been in the real estate sales and vacation rental business for over 14 years, Patrick saw a lack of dependable people to keep an eye on the property of absentee owners. One winter, an alarm went off at his parents’ home, alerting him to a flood. The emergency responders told him this happens a lot and that homeowners don’t discover these events until months later. Between this and the things he’s seen as a real estate broker, Patrick decided to offer Home Watch services.
The NHWA is proud to have a member who gives back to his community in not only philanthropic ways, but actually getting involved and making a difference. He has served on numerous local nonprofit organizations, as well as holding the position of Chairman of the Town of Yarmouth Finance Committee. He is a former president of the Harwich Dennis Rotary Club and a Paul Harris Fellow, which acknowledges his giving. He organized and served as co-chair of the Dana-Farber Great White Gala Against Cancer, which was an event held at the Chatham Bars in in 2016. The event raised over $200,000, and all proceeds went to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Multiple Myeloma research.
Patrick is a member of the Cummaquid Golf Course. In addition to golf, he enjoys boating and spending time with his wife, their children, and dog on beautiful Cape Cod beaches.
